Mr. Hobart is one of those fortunate men of whom all his neighbors speak well, and we will give a terse and comprehensive statement of the leading facts of his life: "Garret Augustus Hobart was born June 3d, 1844, at Long Branch. His ancestors were English on his father's and Dutch on his mother's side. He graduated from Rutgers College in 1863, and taught school for three months, and then commenced the study of law with the late ex-Mayor Socrates Tuttle at the latter's office, in Ellison Street.

"Mr. Hobart, as a member of the Legislature, at once took the highest rank. He was re-elected to the Assembly in 1873, and was chosen Speaker of that body. He was strongly urged by his constituents to serve them a third term, a distinction then unknown in the political history of this county; but he felt constrained to decline. In 1876, how |
